Answer:

1/4 ft vertically per 1 ft horizontally, or 3inches per foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Translate these words into symbols:  One point is at (4 ft, 12 in) and the other is at (6 ft, 18 in).  Now find the slope of the line connecting these two points:

As we move from (4 ft, 12 in) to (6 ft, 18 in), x increases by 2 ft and y increases by (1/2) ft.

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = (1/2 ft) / (2 ft) = (1/4) ft per ft

A group of 120 people touring Europe includes 45 people who speak French, 42 who speak Spanish, and 50 who speak neither languag
lianna [129]

Answer : P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})=0.141666666

Explanation:

Since we have given that

n(U) = 120, where U denotes universal set ,

n(F) = 45, where F denotes who speak French,

n(S) = 42 , where S denotes who speak Spanish,

n(F∪S)' = 50

n(F∪S) = n(U)-n(F∪S) = 120-50 = 70

Now, we know the formula, i.e.

n(F∪s) = n(F)+n(S)-n(F∩S)

⇒  70    = 45+42-n(F∩S)

⇒ 70  =  87- n(F∩S)

⇒ 70-87 = -n(F∩S)

⇒ -17 = -n( F∩S)

⇒  17 = n(F∩S)

P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})= \frac{17}{120}\\P(\text{this group will speak both French and Spanish})=0.141666666
